Year in books - 2020

 

That was a lot of books.  Audio has really bumped this up as I have really gotten into hearing the story done by voice actors.  I can accomplish a book and yard work or other chores at the same time…so long as I don’t do it in a common space near Kristen.  Inevitably she talks to me while I am in that space and will get very annoyed at me for not hearing her…so, don’t keep doing that :)

The one thing I do notice is that I think I will keep most, if not all, non-fiction books to the physical copy and reading…rather than audio.  I think performance of the fictional story goes over so much better than trying to dig into and learn topics where you may want to stop and soak in the information.

10 of the 60 were non-fiction.

20th anniversary

 This will be a memory hard to top for anniversaries.  Kristen scheduled a photographer and a hotel and she opened up her wedding dress, I rented a tux and we had a photo shoot in Boston.

Kristen was the princess she always wanted to be and it was so neat to see all the people who waved and watched and congratulated us as we wandered through the park in our “best”.

Besides incredible pictures, it was just such a fun thing to do…we then stayed the night at a very strange hotel room where the shower was not in the bathroom and enjoyed a new wedding cake that we will save a piece of for a year from now to enjoy.  It was very yummy and expensive :)
